In the docker-compose.yml file it can be passed in the environment variables.

I used to successfully run psql server 13 in a CentOS 7 docker container with CentOS 7 as the host operating system. I
havenow upgraded that system to Rocky Linux 9 as the host operating system and modifying my container to also use Rocky
Linux9 and psql server 16.
I can successfully get the container up and running and can connect to it. However, I have not managed to modify the
initdbstatement to use en_US.UTF-8 for all databases.
In the old container I used:
su - postgres -c "/usr/pgsql-13/bin/initdb -D /var/lib/pgsql/13/data/ -E 'UTF-8' --lc-collate='en_US.UTF-8'
--lc-ctype='en_US.UTF-8'"
but this does not work with psql 16. I tried:
su - postgres -c "/usr/pgsql-16/bin/initdb -D /var/lib/pgsql/16/data/ -E 'UTF-8' --lc-lang='en_US'"
and variations thereof with no success.
Any suggestions on what I have missed?
Thank you.
